  • Define "hard to read".

  • It doesn't take that long. I suspect it is your local storage code that is faulty, i.e. it is waiting for something that never happens.

  • You have stopped the animation ? If you don't if you set the frame it should run the animation from there.

  • You can get your own back if you like <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> https://www.scirra.com/arcade/undergrou ... -beta-1831

  • ... it's hard - very precise jumps and it's difficult to avoid the ghosts that appear if they do so at the wrong time. But looks very nice.

  • [quote:3a3v3nk7]One workaround for the future could be to use a project folder save instead of capx files.

    THis happened to me 2 or 3 times ; it's something to do with closing with the image editor in some state I think. Couldn't reproduce it. However, having switched to project folders it hasn't happened since.

    As a capx file is just a zipped project file (I think ?), this suggests something is wrong with the zipping, possibly some lock on the graphic image in its local store that stops it being copied into the zip file. I don't think an open write stops you from reading it normally but my vague memories of Windows think there is some exclusive access locking thing ?

  • Angiel is right - it's Pole Position, the old arcade game. Have a look at those sorts of games and see how they do "faux" 3D. Cheat It doesn't matter if it's real as long as it looks it

  • Is the title really a good idea ?

  • People know when they are being preached at, usually, often it turns them off or they ignore it. Or they dump it.

  • It really depends on individual cases. Pick whatever makes your code clearest - sometimes this is variables, sometimes it is expressions, sometimes it is events.

  • Global objects appear in all layouts. When you say "string" above, I think you don't mean a string in the sense of a variable, but a string in the sense of a display object.

  • Problem Description

    If you nest loops and use the same loopindex, even if it is in a seperate function, it does not work correctly. In the example below, replacing the second "a" with a "c" causes it to loop four times rather than eight. This can be problematical if writing effective code functions in C2 - discovered this when I had nested loops with "xi", but the two loops with index "xi" were in completely different files.

    Attach a Capx

    Description of Capx

    Three nested loops with duplicate loopindexes (loopindices ?)

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Step 1 : Run the above code

    Observed Result

    1,11,0

    1,12,0

    2,11,0

    2,12,0

    (from Browser log window)

    Expected Result

    Should be 8 outputs not 4. Or should warn about reusage. I'm hazarding a guess that loopindex is stored in a java hash in the runtime ? Maybe the loopindex value could be set to nil when the loop exits and if there is a loopindex already present when a loop is started causes a RTX ?
